Wedding Photographer South Wales | Andrew L Price Photography
South Wales is made up of a number of things, a coastline that runs from the Gower Peninsula to the Vale of Glamorgan. It is the Brecon Beacons rising to the north, the former industrial valleys threading between them, and the farmland of Carmarthenshire stretching westward into a quieter Wales that most people never find.
It is also, consistently, one of the most beautiful parts of the UK to get married in. And it is where I do all of my best work.
I'm Andrew, a wedding photographer based in Swansea. I photograph weddings across South Wales — from intimate Gower estate weddings to city centre ceremonies in Cardiff, from barn conversions in the Vale of Neath to country houses deep in Carmarthenshire. The geography changes. The approach doesn't.
A Region Made for Wedding Photography
What South Wales offers couples and their photographers is variety. Genuine, dramatic, sometimes surprising variety.
The Gower Peninsula, Britain's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, sits on Swansea's doorstep. Its coastline, its moorland, its woodland estates: all within 30 minutes of the city centre, all extraordinary. Further east, the Vale of Glamorgan offers rolling countryside and a string of country house venues that photograph effortlessly. Cardiff brings the energy and architecture of a confident European capital. And to the north and west, the landscapes get wilder, quieter, and for the right couple — more interesting.
I've photographed in all of it. The light behaves differently in each part of South Wales. Coastal light on the Gower is warm and directional. Valley light is softer, more diffused. The open moorland of the Brecon Beacons can be dramatic in a way that takes your breath away, or quietly beautiful in a way that's harder to describe.
The common thread is this: South Wales gives you more to work with than almost anywhere else in the UK.
My Approach
I work in a documentary style — present throughout the day, but not intrusive. I move quietly, I watch, I anticipate. I don't direct the moments I photograph. I find them.
That means the photographs from your wedding day look like your wedding day actually was, not a version of it where everyone has been arranged and told where to stand. The laughs are real. The tears are real. The quiet moments between the big ones are real.
For couples who want their wedding photography to feel like a memory rather than a performance, this is the right approach.
Venues Across South Wales
I've photographed at venues from across the region, from Fairyhill and The King Arthur Hotel on the Gower to The Emlyn Hotel in Carmarthenshire, with many more besides. Each venue has its own photographic character, its own quality of light, its own best moments. Part of what I bring to every wedding is knowing how to find those things, wherever I'm working.
If you're getting married at a South Wales venue and you'd like to know more about what it's like to photograph there — or if you'd like to talk about your day — I'd love to hear from you.
